My wife and I are working through this book, and while I see its value and plan to finish it, I've found it (thus far) a bit underwhelming. It feels like a collection of Jupyter notebooks stitched together with a loosely edited narrative. Concepts are sometimes introduced without explanation, instructions lack context, and the growing errata list on Manning's website makes me question if I'm absorbing the right information.

Also went through this book recently and I agree with you. I found it difficult to build a working LLM using the code snippets included in the book.

Idk if I would ever bother reading a book on a field/subject that changes week by week, sometimes hour by hour.

The fundamentals are not changing that often so the knowledge is extremely applicable.
